The fear of Friday the 13th has been called friggatriskaidekaphobia. "According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina, an estimated 17 to 21 million people in the United States are affected by a fear of this day making it the most feared day and date in history. Some people are so paralyzed by fear that they avoid their normal routines in doing business, taking flights or even getting out of bed. "It's been estimated that [US]$800 or $900 million is lost in business on this day"
Geez. Those who are scared of the date, good luck with your life. It is like some guys avoiding green bikes, calling bad luck.
